You can configure QNP such that the note appears immediately when an alarm activates. Just go to General Preferences|Alarms tab and select the option – “Popup ‘Alarm Due’ window when an alarm activates”.

To shutdown QNP from command line, just run the following command: “C:\Program Files\Conceptworld\QNPlus\QNPlus.exe” /ShutDown. This feature is useful when you need to automatically backup QNP data files to another folder or when synchronizing QNP data files with another computer.

Bonus :) I hope you are aware of the new version of QNP called Notezilla . If you haven’t tried Notezilla, then I strongly suggest that you install on your computer. All notes from QNP will be automatically imported. Also, Notezilla will install as a separate program so that you can revert back to QNP anytime.
